Undying EverGreene. World of Eoroe: Bryten, #3

A villainous plot runs throughout the series so the books are best read in order. Timothy Greene and his betrothed, Charla, dream of happily ever after, unaware that evil forces are amassing in a kingdom to the south. When Charla disappears without a word two days before their wedding, Greene's grief leads him to volunteer for a dangerous mission in a despairing land. As Greene delves deeper into the evil hidden behind the faces of men (and within his own heart), Charla finds herself being hunted by dark creatures who believe she possesses an object that can destroy the world. As Greene battles evil, and Charla wrestles with the burden of good, a power-hungry king faces his own choices.
Will he unite with a queen powerful enough to destroy the entire continent of Bryten? Or rely on his own starving people to defeat the northern kingdoms?
